How much weight can it hold?

Say that the combination of your camera with a lens attached is about 10 pounds and your tripod has a weight limit of 5 pounds. At this point we can assume that the floor is now your tripod… Get it?

DSLR lenses present the most amount of weight and if you have a camera that outweighs the tripod’s maximum weight capacity, the tripod can easily become wobbly and will, sooner rather than later, topple over.
